Anyways, I just got a sample of it in a swap/purchase/thing (My first ever! I’m so happy! =P) and man, I do love it! I kind of remember it, but I still can’t remember it on my mother. It’s so smooth and it has this weird duality to it. It has the powdery, silky rose on top of a base that frankly reminds me of My Sin. It’s heaven. I do think the powder is a bit much but the overall effect is stunning.

A little funny story: My dad used to buy my mother a bottle of Nahema every time he went to Paris. He went to Paris at least four times a year. She had up to 10 bottles at one point. And when they started to go bad, she had to throw them out. My dad got mad, though, when she did. I just thought that was a cute little Nahema tidbit. But there isn’t any happy ending. I’m pretty sure he never bought her perfume again. Actually, decades (decade, really. I’m quite young still! =P) later, she can’t even stand the smell. She wears one of the Ralph Rocks flankers now.

To my horror, I have been hearing that this gem of a perfume is going to be discontinued, so I stocked up enough for 2 years of daily usage lol. I even got a friend to bring me the Extrait. By the way, check out the all new Guerlain website. I think the English version is still under construction but the French one is working fine. They still feature Nahema (in Extrait and EDP) so I guess it is still going to be around for some time.
